v2.3.7

Release Date: March 7, 2022

Resolved Issues

  • The Shared-VM Broker Registrar errand no longer fails with Ruby Buildpack v1.8.50: The errand now succeeds when pushing the test app with Ruby Buildpack v1.8.50. This was resolved by deleting the .bundle directory and the BUNDLED_WITH version specification from the Gemfile.lock file on the test app.

Known Issues

This release has the following issue:

  • The test app fails to start: The timeout for smoke tests can cause the test app to fail to start. The user receives a general error.

Compatibility

The following components are compatible with this release:

Component Version

v2.3.6

Release Date: August 17, 2021

Security Fixes

This release includes the following security fix:

Resolved Issues

This release has the following fixes:

  • A log error related to an unused component no longer appears:
    This error sometimes appeared in logs as: {"error":"Get /v2/info: unsupported protocol scheme "\""}}.

  • Backups of shared-redis plans are working as intended: This issue did not affect on-demand plans. It only affected backups of shared-redis plans on newer deployments of the Redis for Tanzu Application Service tile.

    In the following Redis for Tanzu Application Service versions, backups were configured through a persistent statefile.json created by the Redis for Tanzu Application Service tile:

    • v2.2.2
    • v2.2.1
    • v2.2.0
    • v2.1.4
    • v2.0.6

    This is not true for later Redis for Tanzu Application Service versions. However, backups of shared-redis plans for these later versions still depended on the existence of that statefile.json file.
    This meant installations of Redis for Tanzu Application Service that had created this file, and later been upgraded, persisted the file and worked as expected. Meanwhile, newer installations of Redis for Tanzu Application Service failed to backup shared-redis instances.

    This error sometimes appeared in logs as: {"message": "ServiceBackup.WithIdentifier.Perform backup completed with error", "error": "exit Status 3"}

Known Issues

This release has the following issue:

  • The test app fails to start: The timeout for smoke tests can cause the test app to fail to start. The user receives a general error.

Compatibility

The following components are compatible with this release:

Component Version
Stemcell 621.x
VMware Tanzu Application Service for VMs 2.7.x, 2.8.x, 2.9.x, 2.10.x, and 2.11.x
shared-redis-release 437.0.19
on-demand-service-broker 0.42.1
routing 0.217.0
service-metrics 2.0.13
service-backup 18.4.0
loggregator-agent 6.3.3
bpm 1.1.12
Redis OSS 5.0.13

v2.3.5

Release Date: May 10, 2021

Features

New features and changes in this release:

  • Secure service bindings are configured from the UI: In earlier releases, secure service bindings for Redis were always stored in CredHub if secure instance credentials were enabled in Tanzu Application Service. Now, Redis for Tanzu Application Service operators can deactivate this functionality for Redis service instances.
    For information, see step 8 of Configure On-Demand Service Settings of Installing Redis for VMware Tanzu Application Service.

  • Redis OSS: Updated to v5.0.10

Resolved Issues

This release has the following fix:

  • The upgrade-all-service-instances errand no longer fails when TLS is enforced: This issue was fixed by updating the on-demand-service-broker component to v0.41.1.

Known Issues

This release has the following issue:

  • The test app fails to start: The timeout for smoke tests can cause the test app to fail to start. The user receives a general error.

Compatibility

The following components are compatible with this release:

Component Version
Stemcell 621.x
VMware Tanzu Application Service for VMs 2.7.x, 2.8.x, 2.9.x, 2.10.x, and 2.11.x

service-backup 18.3.5
loggregator-agent 6.2.0
bpm 1.1.9
Redis OSS 5.0.10

v2.3.4

Release Date: August 31, 2020

Resolved Issues

This release has the following fix:

  • Rotating the Services TLS CA certificate no longer causes app downtime: In Redis for PCF v2.2.11 and earlier and Redis for Pivotal Platform v2.3.3 and earlier, following the Rotating CAs and leaf certificates using the Ops Manager API procedure can cause downtime for apps bound to the Redis service. This issue no longer occurs.

Known Issues

This release has the following issue:

  • Service creation can fail when using an external UAA: An issue with the Redis on-demand service broker and TLS verification means that service creation might fail on the TLS handshake. This has been observed as the upgrade-all-service-instances errand failing, particularly when a separate internal load balancer is present.

  • The test app fails to start: The timeout for smoke tests can cause the test app to fail to start. The user receives a general error.

Compatibility

The following components are compatible with this release:

Component Version
Stemcell 621.x
VMware Tanzu Application Service for VMs 2.7.x, 2.8.x, 2.9.x, 2.10.x, and 2.11.x

v2.3.1

Release Date: February 25, 2020

Security Fixes

  • Fixes a security vulnerability in the CF Routing release.

Known Issues

This release has the following issues:

  • Smoke tests fail when run in environments with Ruby buildpack v1.8.11 or later.
  • Lua scripting settings do not migrate when upgrading from Redis for Pivotal Cloud Foundry v2.2.
  • The CF Service Access settings in the On-Demand Plans pane do not migrate when upgrading from Redis for Pivotal Cloud Foundry v2.2.

  • Configuring Redis services to use a static password results in the error secrets map doesn't consist of expected key. This is because of an issue with the handling of static passwords in the requirepass property.

  • Rotating the Services TLS CA certificate might cause app downtime: Leaf certificates do not rotate when following the procedure in Rotating CAs and leaf certificates using the Tanzu Operations Manager API. If the CA certificate has expired and the rotation is unsuccessful, this causes downtime for apps that bind to Redis for Tanzu Application Service service instances.
    To workaround the issue, see Redis On-Demand services do not rotate /services/tls_ca leaf certs resulting in app downtime in the Knowledge Base.

  • The test app fails to start: The timeout for smoke tests can cause the test app to fail to start. The user receives a general error.

v2.3.0

Release Date: December 10, 2019

Features

New features and changes in this release:

  • You can configure on-demand plans dynamically. For more information, see Configure On-Demand Plan Settings.

  • You can upgrade individual on-demand service instances using the cf CLI. To enable this feature, see Enable Individual Service Instance Upgrades. For how to upgrade an individual service instance, see Upgrading an Individual Redis Service Instance.

  • Service instance and broker metrics are emitted in Prometheus format. For general information about metrics, see Monitoring Redis for Tanzu Application Service.

  • Errands have impact warnings when service instance downtime is expected.

  • Redis for Tanzu Application Service syslog configuration is now managed by Tanzu Operations Manager. This improvement does not change syslog configuration in the tile. However, if you use the Tanzu Operations Manager API or Platform Automation Toolkit, you must edit your syslog configuration to use syslog-properties. When you edit your configuration, ensure that you use om CLI v3.2.0 or later. For more information about syslog-properties, see om in GitHub.
